Record Collector of the Month - March 2022


First album: The record that set collecting in motion was a plain white copy of ‘Intrinsic’ from The Contortionist. It’s one of those albums that’s just so perfect in a lot of ways. The timing was great, the proximity in the discography is perfect, the songwriting was so pivotal for my ear at the time, the lyrical content, etc. etc. I fortunately had the chance to open for them at a local show right before the album came out. They played some of the songs from it for one of the first times ever live. I could go on, but I digress. Aside from that, I’d also inherited my dad’s old collection, as most do. It’s stocked with the classics: Journey, Def Leppard, Nazareth, Boston, etc.

Favorite Enjoy The Ride or Enjoy The Toons release: Another trick question? I was lucky enough to witness the golden age of Nickelodeon (Doug, Rugrats, KABLAM!, Angry Beavers, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold). By a small margin, I think ‘The Best of Nicktoons’ takes the cake. It’s got all that and more. It’s perfect. I still vividly remember stumbling on your site to find a treasure trove of nostalgia. Somehow it timed out well and you had the green and orange splatter on clear copies in stock. I knew I had to have it. Vol. 1 of Hey Arnold! is very close behind though. The A side is fantastic, even when you take it out of context. It’s really a remarkable release. Upon listening to it the first time, I was so immersed in it that I forgot it was a record. Literally no fuzz, cracks, pops anything. It’s superb in every measure. Also, ‘Riding the Wave’ from The Blanks. I love Scrubs.

Favorite album artwork: You’re really making me think about these. Some album art is great as a stand-alone, but there’s always a few that match every nuance and detail of the record. The one that sticks out the most to me is ‘Melting Sun’ from Lantlôs. It’s an encompassing, embracing listen full of summer warmth which Pascal Hauer captured perfectly in the artwork. The oranges and pinks throughout are so bright and vivid but not in a commanding way, you know? They get your attention, they can’t be ignored, but they draw you in. The whole gatefold is stunning. If you’re looking for some post-winter pre-spring tunes, this album is the jam.
What are your favorite local record shops to support? The Exclusive Company and Eroding Winds. I visit the Green Bay and Appleton Exclusive Co. locations regularly, ok, habitually. Tom at the Green Bay location is incredibly helpful, always helping me get a hold of titles I’m after and willing to place special orders for me. I’ve been going there since middle school when I was just collecting CDs. I haven’t calculated the percentage of my collection that’s come from The Exclusive Company, but I’d be willing to bet nearly half. I’m really spoiled to not have to drive hours to find quality selection. The folks at the Appleton location are fantastic too. I’ve had tons of help with the audio side of collecting from their guy Todd. Eroding Winds, also the HQ for Gilead Media, is a newer found haven for
me. I don’t get there often enough as it’s a bit farther of a drive, but when I do, the owner Adam always makes it worthwhile. I blame (thank) him for showing me the ropes on Imperial Triumphant and fueling my deep dive into their work. He’s another one that’s always courteous beyond typical standards.What have you been listening to more frequently lately? I’ve been on a pretty big Meshuggah kick. I think about this time every year since 2017, I dive into their discography heavily. This year it’s been a focus on ‘The Violent Sleep of Reason’ and ‘Catch ThirtyThree.’ I’ve also been on a Sleep Token kick. Their newest album took some time to grow on me but it’s continuing to grow quickly. Aside from those two, it’s been ‘Zeal & Ardor’ from Zeal & Ardor, ‘Natoma’ from Stormlight, ‘The Goatman’ OST from The Unseen, ‘Krüller’ from Author and Punisher, and ‘The Shape of Everything’ from SOM on frequent rotation.
What was the best album(s) you've discovered this year: It’s still early in the year, but I’ve been listening to the new album from this French outfit Celeste called ‘Assassine(s)’ a ton. It wasn’t mind-blowing at first, but the more I listen the more I’m finding I really enjoy it. It sounds like a sort of blackened Gojira. If Mario has Wario, in terms of sound, Gojira has Celeste. I’ve also been blindsided by ‘Kinfolk 2: See the Birds’ from Nate Smith recently. I was naively misled that he was only involved with Vulfpeck but turns out he’s well-versed and multi-talented. Massive thanks to Mike at Silent Pendulum Records for sending me a copy and showing me this incredible album. I’ve been watching (binging) Dexter and recently found out about Michael C. Hall’s band Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum. I’ve taken a quick liking to that, and it’s outside of most of my listening habits so it’s a nice change of pace.
What upcoming releases are you most excited about? First and foremost, the approaching release from The Contortionist. They always tease stuff out of the blue which amplifies the excitement. If my hunches are correct, it’s on the horizon. Aside from that, I know the new Animals As Leaders record ‘Parrhesia’ will be phenomenal. The singles released so far are as mind-bending as ever. I’d be willing to wager the same for ‘Immutable’ forthcoming from Meshuggah. There’s also a label, Wax Vessel, dedicated to resurrecting cult classic MySpace era bands that’s putting out one of my favorites from back in the day. It’s the full discography from the band Silence. It’s that quintessential deathcore stuff I was big on back in high school and I can’t wait for my copy to arrive.

Scenario time! If you could create a vinyl variant for any album (already pressed or never been pressed before), what would it look like? I’ve inadvertently been thinking about this for a while. I’ve always felt half and half variants are underappreciated. I have a soft spot for them. To reference my prior list, if I were to have a hand in pressing any Jakub Zytecki release, I’d choose ‘Nothing Lasts, Nothing’s Lost.’ I’d start with a half pastel pink and half baby blue record to match the album art. I’d add in some grey and black inner splatter, originating from the center label only on the blue half, and finish it off with strictly radial splatter on the pink side. I haven’t seen anyone do this (yet) and I think the result would be something unique to add the ever-growing variant diversity.

RECOVER YOUR LOST BITCOIN // WITH THE HELP OF GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER
I’m Thermos Lucas. I’m here to tell my testimony about how. GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER enabled me to recover my stolen BTC. A few months ago I lost $673,000 worth of BTC to a fake investment company. I don’t know how they got my email but I received an email from Investment Bank with a good proposal on how I could make millions out of my investment with them. I was convinced when they showed me profits from other clients that had invested in their platform, I began investing with them. When it was time to withdraw my profits, their website was shut down and I tried contacting them but they wanted me to pay a huge amount of fee to be able to withdraw my funds which I did until they cut me off and stopped all communication with me. I was shocked and devastated, I realized there was nothing I could do to recover my funds, I had gone to the authorities but they couldn’t assist me. I did some research online and I came across a post about GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER Their professional team was super and it took them less than 48 hours to get my funds back from these scammers.

After I realized I had been scammed, I spent days reading posts on Quora and Reddit. Most comments said recovery isn’t realistic, and many of the “contact this person on WhatsApp/Telegram” replies looked suspicious. What finally helped was focusing on legitimate blockchain forensic analysis instead of random “hackers.”
The specialist I contacted used scanner-based blockchain tracking tools to trace the movement of my funds from the scam address through multiple wallets. Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery explained every step, showed the transaction paths, and prepared a detailed report that could be submitted to the exchange where the funds eventually landed.
It wasn’t instant, and it wasn’t magic. Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery remains a professional investigation based on how the blockchain works. With documentation, Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery was able to freeze the relevant account, verify the activity, and—after their internal review—release the recovered funds back to me.
My biggest advice to anyone who has been scammed:
• Look for Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery teams who explain their process, show transaction tracking, and use proper tools.
• Be patient—real recovery depends on evidence and cooperation with Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery; you will get help
I’m sharing this because I wish someone had explained it clearly when I was panicking. Scanner Hacker Crypto Recovery, using blockchain tracing, made my recovery possible, and it might help others in the same situation.

Please be careful when individuals solicit your funds or when investment platforms promise extraordinary gains. Approximately one month ago, I identified an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency. I reached out to a broker I had seen featured in YouTube videos and proceeded to invest a substantial amount, roughly $787,000, which I transferred in Bitcoin. My account was subsequently frozen, and I was asked to provide additional funds before being permitted to withdraw, which made me aware that I had been defrauded. I happened to encounter a Google listing for DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT; placing some trust in myself, I contacted them without delay, explained my circumstances, and forwarded all relevant information I possessed. In less than 48 hours, my Bitcoin was successfully traced, reclaimed, and recovered back to my wallet. Kudos to the team of DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for their professionalism and honesty.

I sought the assistance of Wizard James Recovery after two years of being unable to access my substantial cryptocurrency holdings. The access issue stemmed from a lost wallet password, with the recovery phrase also being inaccessible due to encryption dependencies. Given the inherent risks and complexity of brute forcing or reverse engineering old wallet files, especially after a prolonged period of dormancy, the situation was considered highly critical, with a strong possibility of permanent asset loss. The service successfully recovered the lost wallet password, granting full access to the portfolio. Crucially, upon regaining access, I was able to confirm that all cryptocurrency assets which had been locked away for approximately 24 months were 100% intact and untouched. The recovery solution was surgical and non-intrusive, solely focused on re-establishing access without compromising the underlying funds. Wizard James Recovery exceeded expectations in a scenario where many other avenues would have failed. Their expertise in complex, time sensitive digital asset recovery is highly commendable. For any individual or institution facing technical barriers to accessing long-dormant or encrypted wallets, I offer my highest recommendation for their professional and successful intervention. This service not only resolved a major financial obstacle but did so with integrity and proven technical competence, ensuring the long-term preservation of digital wealth.
